AUBURN, Ala. - Auburn junior Hasina Muhammad was selected to the Preseason All-Southeastern Conference Second Team by a vote of the league's coaches, the SEC announced Tuesday. The Tigers were also picked to finish eighth in the SEC in the preseason poll.

Muhammad, a native of Memphis, Tenn., earned second-team honors after averaging 14.0 points and 5.1 rebounds per game last year. She scored in double figures in 26 games as a junior, scoring 20 or more in eight games, and led Auburn in scoring in a team-high 14 games.

Auburn, under the direction of second-year head coach Terri Williams-Flournoy, was picked to finish eighth in the SEC in the coaches' vote. Points were compiled on a 13-12-11-10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 basis for order of prediction with coaches not able to vote on their own team. Tennessee was predicted to win the 2014 SEC title with 167 points and 11 of the 14 first-place votes.

Tennessee's Meighan Simmons was the coaches' choice for SEC Women's Basketball Player of the Year with seven votes. The remaining votes were for Kentucky's DeNesha Stallworth, LSU's Theresa Plaisance and Vanderbilt's Christina Foggie.

The Tigers return three starters and five letterwinners from last season's team that went 19-15 and advanced to the quarterfinals of the Women's NIT in Williams-Flournoy's first season as head coach. Auburn welcomes eight newcomers for the 2013-14 season.

The Tigers will open the season on Saturday, Nov. 9 as Auburn hosts Georgia Southern at 6 p.m. CT, at Auburn Arena. The Tigers will play a 14-game home schedule this year with games against Tulane, St. John's, Vanderbilt, Kentucky, Texas A&M, Georgia and in-state rival Alabama.
